url of main folder

Question

I have several instalation with different path.

fe.:

Problem is, how to dynamycly detect the path?

I found way how to do this for first case:

Request.Url.Scheme + System.Uri.SchemeDelimiter + Request.Url.Host + (Request.Url.Port != 80 ? ":" + Request.Url.Port : "")

But how to do this for second, or general for more complex example... i don't know.

I need it in controller as same as in View

You could use the Url.Content method:

string root = Url.Content("~/");

The Url helper is available in both controllers and views.

But AbsoluteUrl don't return it with the "Maincontent" part – Zdenek G Sep 11 '12 at 14:46
Checkout this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7266678/29407 And then use the extension method like this: `string root = Url.ContentAbsolute("~/");`. – Darin Dimitrov Sep 11 '12 at 14:51

You can look at Server.MapPath functionality and see examples and informal explanation of its workings here

Hope this helps.
